Default RE: Are Autogyros hard to Fly?

I am just an ordinary flier, cannot do any clever stunt flying etc. I have flown two autogyros, having never seen one in flight before. My opinion is that any reasonably competent flier can handle an autogyro - if they are no harder to pilot than mine are! However be careful not to let it get too far away, with no wings to give orientation it is harder to keep in view. If the motor cuts just try to keep nose into wind and leave it to land by itself.
